Ganon must have got him. - Crypty, on 10/12/2007, -35/+87If by experience you mean an empty wallet, good point.
- Bob042, on 11/02/2007, -11/+50I don't think anyone expects it to be perfectly stable or the "real experience" running cracked on a PC, but I personally don't want to buy a computer and THEN see if I like the OS or not.
- nephilonic, on 11/09/2007, -6/+43Funny story about iTunes... I was in the mac lab at uni today and I heard a girl exclaim "ooh they have iTunes on macs too!" I made sure to inform her that Microsoft were releasing Windows for PC's now also.... she didn't get it.
- DuoPros, on 10/12/2007, -5/+38I can see it now:
Seeders: 2
Leechers: 12742 - anagoge, on 10/12/2007, -6/+34(Psst, Digg. I bet he's got 500 illegally downloaded movies on his computer)
- moisie, on 10/30/2007, -54/+82Yeah it's a shame you can only use a 1 button mouse on a mac, I remember that in order to get my 2 button one to work I had to hack the OS by plugging the device in and then using it.
- aesop, on 10/12/2007, -3/+30This is cool regardless if you're a apple or microsoft fanboy. Now let the hacker inside you enjoy it for 2 seconds and dont bother with the "omg it's best on a mac" and the "plz roflmao pc is so much cheaper".
- CasaMan, on 10/12/2007, -4/+30I can right click on my macbook pro with great ease! Two finger + click. I think it's even beter than a seperate mousebutton. The macbook track pad is great. You should try it out!
1 finger - for mousing
2 finger - for scrolling
1 finger + click - left mouse button
2 finger + click - right mouse button - mouthster, on 11/12/2007, -1/+22"Funny story about iTunes... I was in the mac lab at uni today and I heard a girl exclaim "ooh they have iTunes on macs too!"

She didn't get it, and you didn't get laid. - TeqnoHaxor, on 10/12/2007, -5/+24Now somebody get the x86-64 version working on an Athlon :-P
- drlha, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20Because he's not an idiot, that's why. He knows his company makes money from selling hardware, and the software is the bait to trap you into buying his hardware. What you forget is that Apple licensed their OS before, and guess what, it almost destroyed the company because everyone undercut them on price and they simply didn't make enough profit on the software to cover themselves.
Or: Why radically change a successful business model? - decades, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20You can right click; CTRL+CLICK. Or plug in a mouse with more than one button. Oh, and if that really is the only reason you don't have a Mac laptop, you're very, very foolish...
- zhulien, on 10/12/2007, -11/+28since when is a Mac not a Personal Computer?
- macbwizard, on 10/12/2007, -18/+35it's a joke you dope
- Ninjab3ar, on 11/09/2007, -5/+21lol, manufactory
- stmiller, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19Now why couldn't MS figure out how to do that? Instead of having different discs for 32 and 64 bit.
- gsnedders, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15There is a single version - although universal, that contains PPC 32 bit, PPC 64 bit, x86 32 bit and x86 64 bit.
- autoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I have been running OSx86 for a year now and finally I've got myself a MacBook Pro. The reasons are simple: the crack needed to emulate SSE3 instructions on my machine so the overall feel was sluggish on most cases. Even if you have an SSE3 machine it feels a lot less smooth because of other hardware checks. Also, graphics support is tricky, like you have to spend a lot of time hacking drivers only to have them half working (forget TV out etc.). Other issues involved non working internal wireless, poor energy saving support (non working sleep and other mobile features), webcam support and updates that break the system. OSx86 is nice to play around but I'm glad I left all that behind, It's worth to get the real thing.
- soogy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17akiraeternal is actually right. Intel Macs are essentially PCs (that is to say, x86), since new Macs no longer run on the PowerPC architecture.
- siMac, on 10/12/2007, -7/+20You can right click with the trackpad on MacBooks, just click with two fingers on the trackpad.
I'm sick of this 'one-button mouse' BS. All Macs now ship with multibutton mice, and even before they did all you had to do was (gasp!) plug one in!
The 1990s called, they want their anti-Mac argument back... - geoken, on 11/12/2007, -2/+14Chevy's reliability ratings, in gerneral, are higher than Mercedes'. And I'd take a Z06 over the competing Mercedes.
- drlha, on 10/12/2007, -12/+24JonForTheWin: If you actually follow the tenants of Free Software you wouldn't be pirating software. Seems to me you're more into free "as in beer" than "freedom".
- exsst, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Dude, you're on the wrong site...
Digg is literally an excuse for geeky creations.. - nephilonic, on 10/12/2007, -7/+18You mean like iTunes?
- gsnedders, on 10/28/2007, -1/+11Some of us live nowhere near any store selling Apple products…
- Ninjab3ar, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16We're all aware that Macs are indeed personal computers, but for the sake of the argument, PC is the term used to represent any non-mac computer, considering the fact that PCs can be purchased from numerous manufacturers or made on your own.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16I'm typing this on an iMac and I still feel Apple should offer a "demo" so to speak for users interesting in their OS. I downloaded and still run a cracked copy of OSx86 on my AMD 64 4000. If it wasn't for my little test I never would've fallen in love with OS X and bought and iMac.
- llamasonic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I've been using XP now for a very long while. I've got an over clocked 805d (remember something other than XP. The thing that drives me nuts about windows is how it slows down over time. The more things you download and install / uninstall the more screwed up it becomes.. Vista just does not do it for me. I loaded up Ubuntu, looks good but I want to use some of the same apps I have used with XP and have them feel the same..
Just for fun I tried the 10.4.8 Jas DVD floating around on demonoid. I made a new partition, installed acronis boot loaded on XP and loaded up the DVD image I had burnt for OSX86 10.4.8 - 15 minutes later it was installed. Not network, no sound and limited to 1024 desktop.. but it was FAST - like really fast!
A quick look on the osx86 site gave me the fix for my network, install a .kext and do a repair permissions.. next i installed the Titan driver with a friendly installer called Natit.. Full support of my Nvidia card with quartz2 extreme. I then upgraded my kernel using a friendly script from prasys.. see the forums. Super easy.
10 days into my osx experience and my system has an xbench score of 120 with random apps going in the background - everything works! My camcoder plugged into USB is recognized as a webcam & usb sound device - so is my digicam, without any drivers!
This is the better than a real mac imo. I can do system upgrades at a lower cost with off the shelf hardware. If something goes wrong I don't have to send my system out to a mac specialist. This is my new full time rig. I can still boot XP though I find myself in OSX almost all the time now.
XP does not suck.. But OSX86 runs faster on the same hardware. I love that installing an uninstalling apps is as easy as dragging something to the trash.
A buddy used a screenshot of my desktop for a blog post, have a look here.

OSX86 has me very happy here. Thanks to Jas and Semthex!! You guys rock. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12Its called a store, you need to get outta you're house to find one. You'll find Apple computers there to mess around with. Try the computer store first, that'll help.

- geoken, on 11/09/2007, -6/+14I like trackpoint better than any touchpad and the build quality is extremely high.
- ShrimpCrackers, on 11/09/2007, -9/+17Despite what iAlex and the others are saying, Quanta produces the Apple laptops and the hardware, NOT Apple themselves. The back end chip design and motherboards are mostly designed by Quanta and some sub contractors, NOT Apple. Hon Hai/FoxConn produces the iPods. Last week I checked and Quanta also produces your Sony and some of your newer HP laptops as well.
How do I know this "insider info", well besides the fact that most of the computer geeks (at least in Asia know this) I'm Taiwanese and the main Quanta plants that produces internal components is a few blocks away from mine. - bluesaze, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12More about this here http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=33578
- mallakuka, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7My God dude do some reading. The Mac trackpad is the most advanced you'll find. Scrolling up and down, left click and right click. It's all there.
- drlha, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10No, I mean like a larger market cap than Dell and being highly profitable. Do you seriously think that if Apple started selling OSX they would magically become Microsoft? If you do you're a moron.
- ne0nid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I think the reason why apple won't be releasing os x for the masses is because the current mac users are very loyal (look at all the mac expo / wwdc heisa) and because non-mac users simply aren't... all they want is pirate software. If it costs 1 buck, it's 1 buck too much. That's how I see it.. could be wrong though... .
And second, about mac is too expensive and all of that... yeah I heard that comment lots of times. It's those guys who spend fortunes of money to constantly upgrade / downgrade / swap hardware and in the end spend a lot more money to get an equally good running machine at a much higher price with all the hassle of reinstalling / configuring / .... . I switched to Mac two years ago and the concept of "it just works" is very true. Loving it! If Vista would be better than os x in this concept, I'd switch to Vista.
Simple as that, the OS that works best, without all the hassle will win for me. - nicerobot, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10Why? Would you like iPod software to run your car? Should you be able to? No one is keeping you from trying. Just don't expect Honda to support you.
One reason Macs are superior to Wintel is because Apple can innovate faster because they have full control of almost the entire product.
So go ahead and crack the OS. It's going to be done, similar to Windows pirates. Make no mistake, it's theft unless you've purchased it. It'll probably not last long and doubtful you'd want to keep it patched since Apple can probably easily break the cracks. So go ahead and run an unsupported, unpatchable OS on unsupported hardware. If you've bought it, you're free to ***** it up as much as you like (IMO, regardless of licenses that may say otherwise).
Personally, I have no desire to run OS X on non-Apple hardware. I'd rather run Linux on those. Even my older Apple hardware will be running Linux as they age. - r3zonance, on 10/12/2007, -6/+11"Apple is a software company that sells hardware."
WRONG!!!
Apple is a hardware company, that sells software. Do your research. - Terc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5FKnight,
I'm sure people would bitch, but this wouldn't be the reason Microsoft didn't do it. - r3zonance, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8"You mean, like, 2.3 percent successful?"
Actually, a successful company is one that makes a profit. It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Marketshare.
Example, the shareholders couldn't give two ***** about your marketshare, but if you aren't making a profit for them to share in, they'll soon let you know. - chaddhall, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6A better analogy would be a Mercedes interior in a Yugo.
Hehe... - dandiemer, on 10/12/2007, -8/+12JonFTW: that is the most convoluted statement I've ever read.
- TheOther1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6@ Mephux
You forgot that a Chevy oil change is $19 and a Mercedes oil change is $219. Plus if you have s deisel POS Mercedes, you can only fill up at 1 out of 8 gas stations around here. With the Chevy, you can use the gas in the can you use for your lawn mower. - BenTM, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Leopard isnt worth getting hyped up about at this stage. I gave the first leak a go and it wasnt anything exciting.
Maybe later in the development it'll be worth it. 'Cuz atm, it's just Tiger with a couple of new features. - drlha, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4You're a software pirate, yay! Dugg up.
(tossing eyes while writing this). - maclaxguy, on 11/09/2007, -4/+7@shrimpCrackers
Dude, seriously?? Just because they are a contracted manufacturer doesn't mean they designed it. - Jack9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yes it does. Apricot Sundae, Turd Sundae, Telephone Sundae. Who are you to tell me there's only 31 flavors?
- ibis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4One of the ace things about apple is supposed to be how nice their hardware is, but if you want more than one mouse button their answer is to buy a third party accessory. It's idiotic. I have my beautiful shiny mac, and then I can't get a pretty mouse to match it.
Then to cap it off their reason for the one button is that more would be confusing for stupid people, but then their other solutions are even more confusing: Click with two fingers? Click the other side of the mighty mouse even though their is nothing there? At this point it is just religious fervor, just put another button on there already. -
